The spread*** that I am building is for giving price quotes for server
builds. I need to use grouping and outline to be able to shrink each
section down to just subtotals (subtotal of server components,
back-ups, and software). This is no problem, the problem is however
that the functions that are used to calculate everything need to be in
locked cells. As soon as I lock the formula cells, and protect the
***, I can't use the outline buttons on the side to shrink or expand.
I tried changing the protecting to include formatting,inserting and
deleting columns and rows, but it still won't let me use them.

I would appreciate any suggestions... thanks!
